Though having a collective age of only 22, the members of FRANCO have opened for 54-40, Econoline Crush, Sweatshop Union and released three albums. In February of 2009 FRANCO were given a showcase spot on Victoria’s premier pop/rock station 91.3 the Zone Fm. Later that same year their song "Forever” was chosen as CBC Radio Almanac's Theme song.

WATASUN

Critics describe Watasun as a very fun, upbeat band that interacts well with their audience, sharing feelings of excitement and liberation through music. Reid Hendry is the multi-talented percussionist who performs a locked-in groove on the Cajon, often accompanied with Caribbean vibes from the sound of his steel pan. Ronii Wata, the other half of the duo, provides Watasun with a powerful voice through singing and free-styling, thought provoking lyrics along with a signature strumming style from his miniature acoustic guitar.
